Topic: The distance between us and citizen participation? - About the practical approaches and observations of citizen participation

Citizen participation seems to be a familiar term, but when it becomes a dynamic, it is so strange. From civic participation to deliberative democracy, what is the key meaning of it? What is genuine citizen participation? There are many difficulties in citizen participation. From the perspective of public administrators, when should citizens be involved in public affairs? How to invite and attract citizens to participate? What are the barriers to citizen participation? Through the speaker’s past experience and observations of participatory budgeting, hope that listeners can understand the topic and think about how far away is the distance between themselves and citizen participation?
